The Madness that is March Madness



This is one of my favorite times of the year. The NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament. MARCH MADNESS!!! No explanation needed to describe what it's all about unless you live underneath a rock. Here's a link on how to pick a smart bracket.

I won't go into too much detail but I have won 3 bracket polls all time in march madness. Some years I do ok and very few like last year upsets happen that you aren't prepared for. Here are my teams I think will be in this year's final four.

Kentucky

Missouri
North Carolina

and of Course
THE OHIO STATE BUCKEYES!!!

I hope Ohio State wins it all. That's who I want in my heart but in my head here's what I got it down to in the Final Four.

Kentucky over Missouri.
North Carolina over Ohio State (unfortunately)

and in the Championship.
NORTH CAROLINA OVER KENTUCKY.

Everyone is going Kentucky and they have the talent to win it but I question if those talented players like Anthony Davis or Doran Lamb are thinking NBA or not. North Carolina has shown some adversity and when they are on they can beat anyone in the country like they did at Duke. Ohio State can too but all players have to be on for that to happen.

All in all I hope it's a great tournament and I have the bracket to win it this year. It would be even better if Ohio State wins it all!!! Good luck to everyone and enjoy MARCH MADNESS. I hope Ohio State or North Carolina are the teams that get to experience that ONE SHINING MOMENT!!!! (Listen and enjoy)!!!

The Razzies!!!!!! :P

 Well, last weekend of couse was the Oscars (Academy Awards) in which honored the best movies in 2011. I for one did not watch one single minute of. I was watching the USATF Indoor Nationals on ESPN. I didn't even watch the NBA ALL Star Game and I forgot The Daytona 500 was even on but that rained out so I didn't even care. You all are thinking this guy loves Country Music, Fishing, Camping, going to Cabelas, and dressing up like a Cowboy with boots and a Cowboy hat but doesn't like NASCAR. I bet it's good to go to live but I think it is boring to watch on TV. I did love Talladega Nights.



  LOL!! That scene always cracks me up. It's a good movie by the way not like the bad ones I'll talk about.  Anyway don't want to get off the subject. I didn't watch the Oscars. It's basically Hollywood actors and actresses telling each other how great they are :P. Some movies that are nominated I'll watch and most of them are pretty good. Yet I love action and comedy movies a lot. However, I love it how a group of people try to make Hollywood not forget about the CRAP that they put out.

  That's where the Razzies come in. The award is called the Golden Raspberry Awards and they just shorten it to the Razzies.They give out the awards for Worst Picture, Worst Actor, Worst Actress, Worst Director, Worst Supporting Actor, Worst Supporting Actress, and so on. They also have special categories during certain years like Worst On Screen Couple/Ensemble, or Worst Sequel/Prequel/Remake/or Rip-Off.

  The term for the Golden Raspberry Award comes from the term blowing a raspberry

  They started out small in the 1980's but the media caught on and they have now grow to wear they have cermonies where they honor or should I say DISHONOR the worst movies of the year. They usually announce the nominations a day before the Academy Awards announce theirs and they award the Razzies a day before the Academy Awards Ceremony. This year they will hold the Razzies on April 1st being April Fools Day just for this year. Here is the link with the nominees.

Jack & Jill looks like a dumb Adam Sandler. He hasn't made any good ones in a long time. Not too sure I would put Transformers: Dark Side of the Moon as a nominee, it wasn't bad. Not as bad as Your Highness with Danny McBride, James Franco, and Natalie Portman now that was dumb when I rented it off Netflix

The Movie Bucky Larson: Born to be a Star looks dumb. But, it was made from the same production company that Adam Sandler owns so I'm not suprised. It gives me an idea for another great blog. Who is Better? Jim Carrey or Adam Sandler. I'm sure you'll enjoy that when I get to work on it.

Anyway to look at another movies that won or were nominated for Razzies go here
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Raspberry_Award and look at the bottom and browse throught the history. You'll see a lot of Nicolas Cage, Jessica Alba, Sylvester Stallone, Ben Alfeck, Madonna, Halle Berry, Demi Moore movies nominated. However I'm surprised none of Hulk Hogan's movies won or were nominated and he made some terrible movies that sadly I watched as a kid.

Suburban Commando (1991)
Mr. Nanny (1993)
3 Ninjas: High Noon at Mega Mountain (1997)

and my personal favorite of his which was his first starting role.

No Holds Barred (1989)

Here is a scene from No Holds Barred right after the beginning of the movie when his character refuses to appear on another network and the evil network executive has the limo driver take him to a warehouse to be beaten by thugs but Hogan turns the tables on them. The one word used at the end of the video pretty much sums up the entire movie. Watch and enjoy.

LMAFO!!! OMG!! DOOKIE that's all I have to say. See it for yourself. Hope you find the info on the Razzies entertaining. I would watch No Holds Barred on YouTube if you have time. If you really want to watch Bad movies!! I'm D-Money and that's my two cents!!
